In a controversial phone conversation with Georgia Secretary of the Interior Brad Raffensperger, Trump desperately asks for the missing votes.that he would need to win the state.
On January 2, he called Raffensperger and began the conversation quite confidently by saying:
He then tries for 13 minutes to convince Brad Raffensperger of the alleged electoral fraud. without letting him speak.

While in some places he tries to prove electoral fraud with seemingly “clear” examples, in others he is entangled in incoherent statements that express his despair:
I mean, you know, I didn’t lose the state, Brad. People say that was the highest number of votes in history. It was impossible. Many political people say that there is no way they will beat me. But they hit me. They beat me in … As you know, in every state, we won in every state.
Over and over again he emphasizes how clearly the state won:
I mean, we have many, many more votes than it would take to win the state. And we have won the status and we have won it very clearly and easily and we have received, we have, a lot of that is very proven, much more proven than necessary.
Raffensperger remains indifferent. When he can finally react to Trump’s torrent of speech, he says in no uncertain terms:

Raffensperger says that some of the claims made by Trump have been investigated and refuted by the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) and even the FBI. Not a convincing argument for Trump:
“There are only two answers: dishonesty or incompetence. It is simply impossible. Look, it’s just impossible. And the other thing too, I also said it’s impossible. I mean, there’s no way that these things, you know, you have all these different people voting, but they don’t live in Georgia anymore. “
Undeterred, he continues with his claims:
Raffensperger is equally unshakable against Trump’s claims:
Trump is slowly but surely losing patience and is responding:
He insists on his illegal vote argument and includes a little warning to Raffensperger:
“And you will find that, which is completely illegal, it is more illegal for you than for others because you know what they did and you don’t report it. This is a criminal, this is a crime. And you can’t let that happen. This is a great risk for you and Ryan, your attorney. And that’s a great risk. “
Raffensperger doesn’t care, so Trump finally speaks simply, clearly exasperated:
In the end, however, he seems to see that he falls on deaf ears. But no matter, he will win either way, Trump is still convinced:
The phone call ended with an agreement to meet with Trump’s lawyers to review some of Trump’s allegations. It will hardly change anything in the outcome of the elections. This will be officially certified on Wednesday (starting at 7:00 pm CET).
